Science  Departments 

INTRODUCTORY  STATEMENT 

1883.  The  present  organization  of  these  departments  was 
begun  under  the  direction  of  Loren  H.  Batchelder,  in  a  small  one- 
story  building  specially  erected  for  laboratory  study. 

1887.  Science  Hall  was  erected  and  connected  with  the 
earlier  chemistry  building  by  a  one-story  extension.  The  Depart- 
ment of  Biology  was  installed  in  the  second  and  third  floors  of 
this  new  building  and  the  Department  of  Biology  was  organized 
under  the  direction  of  Henry  L.  Osborn. 

1907.  A  second  floor  was  added  to  the  extension  of  Science 
Hall,  housing  the  chemical  and  physical  departments,  and  the 
biological  laboratories  were  moved  to  their  present  quarters. 

1914.  The  Department  of  Physics  was  separated  from  that 
of  Chemistry  and  placed  under  the  direction  of  Jens  M.  Rysgaard, 
and  the  equipment  of  physical  laboratory  was  begun.  A  Graduate 
instructor  became  part  of  the  teaching  force  of  the  biological 
department  in  addition  to  the  undergraduate  student  assistants. 

1918.  The  chemical  laboratories  were  thoroughly  remod- 
elled and  the  work  on  the  courses  taken  over  by  George  W. 
Muhleman  who  had  then  been  elected  to  the  position  of  Professor 
of  Chemistry. 

1920.  The  teaching  force  of  the  Departments  of  Chemistry 
and  Physics  were  both  strengthened  by  the  addition  of  a  gradu- 
ate instructor  in  each  in  addition  to  the  several  undergraduate 
assistants  formerly  employed. 

1922.  The  physical  laboratories  were  extensively  remod- 
elled and  much  new  electrical  and  other  equipment  was  installed. 

The  instruction  in  each  of  the  three  science  departments  is 
now  in  charge  of  two  members  of  the  faculty  and  several  student 
assistants.  The  plan  of  using  undergraduate  student  assistance 
in  the  natural  science  laboratories  is  one  which  is  very  widely 
employed  in  colleges  of  our  type  with  very  good  results.     It  is 

TAOB    TnP.KK 


especially  valuable  to  the  assistant  as  it  brings  him  into  close 
association  with  the  teaching  force.  It  also  gives  him  practical 
experience  in  teaching  and  routine  of  laboratory  instruction  and 
places  on  him  some  responsibility  as  well,  all  of  which  are  a  well 
recognized  asset  to  him  in  his  later  graduate  work. 

It  is  the  laboratory  contact  with  nature  which  gives  the 
science  courses  their  chief  educational  value  in  the  curriculum, 
even  for  those  students  whose  subsequent  career  will  not  lie  imme- 
diately along  the  lines  of  physical  science.  This  fact  is  universally 
recognized  and,  therefore,  many  colleges  require  two  successive 
years  of  a  laboratory  science  as  part  of  the  general  requirement 
for  college  graduation. 

Although  Hamline  University  does  not  primarily  undertake 
to  give  highly  specialized  technical  courses  in  physical  and  biolog- 
ical sciences,  it  has  always  been  notable  for  sending  out  men  and 
women  for  graduate  work  who  have  made  strong  records  in  their 
various  fields  and  are  now  holding  professorships  in  colleges  or 
important  positions  in  various  lines  of  applied  science.

DEPARTMENT  OF  CHEMISTRY 

Colleges  and  universities  in  the  United  States  of  America 
have  found  it  necessary  to  add  to  their  equipment  for  the  teach- 
ing of  chemistry  since  the  World  War,  because  of  the  increased 
number  of  students  desiring  to  take  this  subject.  Hamline  Uni- 
versity has  been  alive  to  the  trend  of  the  times  and  has  provided 
sufficient  laboratory  space,  together  with  all  the  apparatus  and 
chemicals  necessary  for  the  needs  of  the  increased  enrollment. 
Standard  courses  are  offered  for  students  who  elect  chemistry 
during  the  four  years  of  their  undergraduate  work. 

The  courses  are  arranged  to  take  care  of  three  classes  of 
students :  ( 1 )  those  who  plan  to  study  medicine,  dentistry  or 
engineering;  (2)  those  who  plan  to  specialize  in  chemistry  to 
qualify  for  teaching  positions  in  high  schools,  colleges  or  uni- 
versities ;  (3)  those  who  expect  to  enter  industrial  positions.  The 
medical  school  of  the  University  of  Minnesota  requires  four  years 
of  chemistry  for  the  M.  D.  degree.  Full  credit  for  this  work  is 
allowed  if  done  at  Hamline  University.  The  department  of 
chemistry  has  been  organized  into  a  teaching  force  which  actually 
gives  personal  instruction  to  each  student  taking  the  subject. 
During  the  past  six  years,  as  a  result  of  this  plan  of  instruction, 
four  men  have  qualified  and  are  teaching  in  colleges  and  univer- 
sities. A  greater  number  of  both  men  and  women  are  teaching 
chemistry  in  high  schools.  Three  students  who  have  been  trained 
in  the  department,  are  appointed  to  assist  in  chemistry.  Once 
each  week  the  entire  teaching  staff  meets  to  discuss  the  best  meth- 
ods of  presenting  the  subject  of  chemistry.  At  this  time  papers 
from  scientific  journals  are  reviewed  and  the  student  is  intro- 
duced to  the  methods  of  research  as  carried  on  in  graduate  work 
in  chemistry. 

One  scientific  journal  printed  in  Germany  (Die  N  aturwisscn- 
schaften)  and  one  journal  printed  in  France  (La  Science  et  La 
Vie)  are  received  by  the  department.  Students  in  chemistry 
are  given  some  experience  in  translating  and  reporting  on  work 
done  in  foreign  countries.  Five  other  scientific  journals  are  pro- 
vided for  the  department.     They  are,  The  Journal  of  Industrial 

PACK    FIVK 


and  Engineering  Chemistry,  The  Journal  of  the  American  Chem- 
ical Society,  Chemical  Abstracts,  The  Journal  of  Biological  Chem- 
istry and  The  Scientific  Monthly.  The  department  has  a  library 
composed  of  text  and  reference  books  devoted  to  all  of  the  differ- 
ent phases  of  chemistry.  Each  year  a  number  of  new  books  are 
added  to  the  list.  The  students  in  the  advanced  courses  are  taught 
to  use  this  library  and  are  encouraged  to  do  a  great  deal  of  collat- 
eral reading  and  to  become  conversant  with  chemical  literature 
and  chemical  thought.  The  Saint  Paul  public  library,  the  J.  J.  Hill 
Reference  library  and  the  departmental  libraries  of  the  State 
University  of  Minnesota  are  easily  accessible  and  are  open  to  the 
students  of  Hamline  University. 

The  Minnesota  branch  of  the  American  Chemical  Society 
meets  each  month  at  the  State  University,  and  opportunities  are 
given  for  students  to  hear  men  of  national  repute  speak  on  some 
phase  of  chemistry. 

Graduates  from  Hamline  University,  who  major  in  chem- 
istry, are  offered  opportunities  to  apply  for  scholarships  and 
assistantships  in  a  great  many  colleges  and  universities  in  Amer- 
ica. Students  by  passing  the  civil  service  examination  are  eligible 
to  receive  appointments  in  the  bureau  of  chemistry  of  the  United 
States.  Requests  come  to  the  department  for  chemists  to  fill 
positions  in  industrial  laboratories. 

Lectures  are  given  once  each  month  at  the  chemical  pro- 
seminar,  by  members  of  the  Hamline  faculty,  upon  subjects  re- 
lated to  chemistry  or  upon  a  subject  necessary  for  a  better  under- 
standing of  chemistry.  Students  in  chemistry  are  encouraged  to 
take  a  great  deal  of  work  in  the  departments  of  French,  German, 
Latin,  English,  Mathematics,  Physics,  Biology,  Political  Econ- 
omy, Philosophy  and  Education.  Students  who  major  in  chemis- 
try are  advised  not  to  exclude  those  subjects  which  are  so  essen- 
tial for  a  comprehensive  understanding  of  chemistry. 

While  it  is  fully  realized  that  correct  methods  of  presenta- 
tion are  necessary  in  good  teaching,  yet  the  best  thing  accomplish- 
ed is  to  so  intensify  the  interest  of  the  student  in  chemistry  that 
he  will,  of  his  own  free  will  and  accord,  think  the  subject  through 
and  thus  set  the  pace  for  his  fellow  students  to  emulate.  High 
scholarship  is  the  aim  of  the  department.    To  attain  this  aim  the 

PAGE    SIX 


student  is  surrounded  with  all  of  the  influences  which  make  for 
a  correct  technique  in  laboratory  work.  He  is  encouraged  to 
form  orderly  habits  of  thought  and  work.  He  is  instructed  to 
develop  system  and  method  which  will  enable  him  to  perform 
the  maximum  amount  of  work  in  the  minimum  amount  of  time. 

The  Twin  Cities  offer  exceptional  opportunity  for  students  to 
visit  industries  where  chemistry  is  applied  to  the  processes  of 
manufacturing.  It  is  the  plan  to  visit  a  great  many  institutions 
during  the  present  college  year  to  enable  the  student  to  get  first 
hand  information  about  industrial  chemistry,  and  if  possible  to 
relate  the  work  of  the  college  more  closely  to  that  of  industry.  In 
this  way  it  is  hoped  to  offer  the  services  of  chemistry  to  the  public 
in  the  solution  of  the  many  problems  which  arise  in  industry, 
agriculture,  sanitation,  medicine  and  foods.  The  department  has 
been  requested  at  different  times  to  supply  expert  information 
or  advice  to  industry ;  also  to  make  analysis  of  many  different 
kinds  of  materials.    This  service  is  to  be  continued. 

Courses  are  offered  in  general  chemistry,  qualitative  analysis, 
quantitative  analysis,  food  analysis,  water  and  gas  analysis,  or- 
ganic chemistry,  blood  chemistry,  colloid  chemistry,  and  physi- 
ological chemistry.  All  of  these  courses  have  been  accepted  by 
colleges  and  universities  at  full  value,  where  graduates  of  Ham- 
line  University  have  gone  for  graduate  work  in  chemistry.

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICS 

Physical  science  is  vitally  related  to  our  complex  modern 
life.  We  can  neither  fully  understand  nor  properly  appreciate 
the  environment  in  which  we  live  without  a  knowledge  of  the 
principles  which  science  has  given  us.  A  liberal  education  must 
therefore  include  a  study  of  science. 

The  courses  offered  in  the  Department  of  Physics  are  listed 
in  the  general  catalog  and  need  not  be  mentioned  here.  Two 
changes  are  contemplated  for  next  year.  Physics  21-22  will  be 
an  intermediate  course  in  mechanics,  heat,  electricity  and  light. 
It  will  be  experimental  in  character.  This  change  is  made  pos- 
sible by  the  more  adequate  laboratory  facilities  which  we  now 
enjoy.  This  course  is  planned  primarily  for  those  students  who 
are  preparing  to  teach  science  in  our  high  schools  after  gradua- 
tion, but  will  be  of  equally  great  value  to  those  who  are  majoring 
in  Chemistry,  as  well  as  to  those  who  are  planning  to  enter  one 
of  the  engineering  professions.  The  second  change  contemplated 
is  in  connection  with  Physics  13-14.  A  course  in  supervised 
problem  work  will  be  given  in  place  of  the  problem  work  at  the 
present  time.  The  class  will  meet  for  a  two-hour  session  once 
each  week  and  study  by  the  laboratory  method  the  various  type 
problems  that  we  meet  with  in  a  general  course  in  college  physics. 
This  course  will  require  no  more  time  on  the  part  of  the  student 
than  is  required  at  present,  but  the  method  should  yield  greater 
results. 

THE  PHYSICAL  LABORATORIES 

Last  year  the  Physics  Department  moved  into  new  quarters 
made  available  in  Science  Hall  at  the  completion  of  the  new 
dining  hall.  The  old  dining  hall  in  the  basement  of  Science  Hall 
was  converted  into  two  laboratories,  one  for  the  beginning  stu- 
dents and  the  other  for  the  more  advanced  students.  This  neces- 
sitated a  great  many  changes,  some  of  which  are  not  yet  com- 
pleted. During  the  summer  four  concrete  piers  were  built  in  the 
advanced  laboratory.  They  are  mounted  with  large,  substantial 
alberine  slabs,  and  stand  independent  of  the  building,  so  that 

PAGE    EIGHT 


mechanical  disturbances  are  eliminated.  These  piers  are  a  real 
asset,  and  make  possible  advanced  experimental  work  in  mechan- 
ics and  light.  These  branches  will  now  be  developed  as  rapidly 
as  the  needed  equipment  can  be  purchased. 

An  adequate  switchboard  is  being  designed  at  the  present 
time,  and  will  be  put  up  in  the  advanced  laboratory  before  the 
end  of  the  current  school  year.  From  this  switchboard  the 
electric  power  used  in  experimental  work  will  be  distributed  to 
the  two  laboratories  and  to  the  lecture  room. 

DEPARTMENTAL  LIBRARY 

The  physics  library  contains  about  200  volumes  dealing  with 
the  various  phases  of  the  subject  of  physics.  The  number  of 
books  is  not  large,  but  they  include  the  best  books  found  in  any 
physics  library.  Additions  are  constantly  being  made  to  the  num- 
ber from  the  more  important  recent  publications. 

The  library  also  contains  the  following  magazines :  The 
Physical  Review,  The  Philosophical  Magazine,  Annales  de  Phy- 
sique, and  Zeitschrift  fiir  Physik. 

The  advanced  students  are  encouraged  to  read  these  maga- 
zines in  order  to  become  acquainted  with  the  problems  engaging 
the  attention  of  the  physicists  at  the  present  time. 

PHYSICS  JOURNAL  CLUB 

This  club  meets  for  a  two-hour  session  once  each  week.  It 
aims  to  make  the  student  acquainted  with  some  of  the  more  recent 
developments  in  the  field  of  physics.  This  year  the  club  is  mak- 
ing a  thorough  study  of  the  vacuum  tube  and  its  application  to 
Radio  Telephony.  Next  year  the  time  will  be  devoted  to  a  study 
of  X-Rays  and  Radioactivity.  By  thus  concentrating  for  at  least 
one  semester  on  one  definite  phase  of  modern  physics,  it  will  be 
possible  to  give  the  student  a  fair  knowledge  of  the  more  funda- 
mental principles  established  in  that  particular  field.  The  work 
of  the  club  is  largely  in  the  form  of  reports  by  the  members  upon 
articles  read  in  current  periodicals.

DEPARTMENT  OF  BIOLOGY 

The  detailed  description  of  the  courses  offered  in  the  Depart- 
ment of  Biology  is  indicated  in  The  Annual  Catalog  to  which 
reference  should  be  made. 

The  organization  of  the  biological  department  and  its  devel- 
opment and  present  form  have  not  been  designed  primarily 
to  furnish  special  preparation  for  medical  or  other  technical 
courses,  nor  have  they  been  worked  out  primarily  for  the  pur- 
pose of  training  men  and  women  for  teaching  Biology  in  high 
school,  though  these  features  have  been  considered  in  making 
them.  But  in  working  them  out,  the  stress  has  been  laid  rather 
on  cultural  and  educational  values  than  on  their  vocational  fea- 
tures which  are  made  incidental  rather  than  central.  It  is  gen- 
erally believed  that  the  laboratory  study  of  any  of  the  physical  or 
biological  sciences,  carried  on  over  a  period  of  two  successive 
years  can  make  a  very  valuable  contribution  to  the  mental  equip- 
ment of  anyone  and  so  a  "science  minor"  of  two  years,  has  been 
fixed  as  a  minimum  which  must  be  covered  by  every  person  in 
training  for  the  bachelor's  degree — just  as  an  equal  amount  in 
the  languages  and  in  the  "humanities"  must  be  taken  as  minor 
requirements.  The  science  minor  in  biology,  while  conveying 
important  information  basic  to  many  later  lines  of  intellectual 
pursuit,  is  chiefly  chosen  for  its  training  value.  It  requires  a 
certain  period  of  time  during  which  the  student  is  brought  into 
first  hand  contact  with  his  material.  He  must  probe  deeply 
among  the  hidden  things  of  nature.  To  do  this  he  must  see  and 
think  clearly,  thoroughly ;  he  must  learn  the  methods  of  exper- 
imental approach  to  truth  and  become  familiar  with  scientific 
evidence  and  reasoning;  he  must  learn  to  record  his  data  with 
accuracy  so  that  he  can  return  to  them  later  without  vagueness. 
He  learns  how  to  draw  the  line  between  fact  and  guessing  and  to 
make  this  distinction. 

The  work  of  the  first  course,  Biology  11-12,  is  very  distinctly 
arranged  with  this  point  in  mind.  The  class  is  made  up  largely 
of  men  and  women  who  are  just  beginning  their  college  educa- 
tion.   They  need  to  come  in  direct  contact  with  the  semi-profes- 

PAGE   TEN 


sional  standards  and  criteria  which  prevail  in  work  of  distinctly 
college  grade,  so  much  more  rigorous  than  those  which  obtain  in 
high  school  education.  In  addition  to  the  disciplinary  value  of  the 
course,  11-12,  the  content  of  the  course  is  such  that  many  of  the 
underlying  principles  which  control  human  action  in  many  aspects 
are  worked  over  and  especially  those  which  relate  to  practical 
features  of  life  and  human  welfare. 

Course  21-22  is  a  second  year  course  designed  to  offer  the 
work  needed  to  complete  the  science  minor  requirement.  It  is  a 
more  intensive  study  of  the  organization  of  a  vertebrate  animal 
and  especially  a  mammal.  It  extends  the  information  and  meth- 
ods of  work  of  Biology  11-12  into  a  very  exact  and  careful  study 
of  histology  and  cytology  with  some  physiological  applications. 

Course  23-24  is  also  a  second  year  course  with  a  similar 
purpose  as  21-22,  but  dealing  exclusively  with  the  botanical  side 
of  living  nature,  designed  for  the  benefit  of  those  students  who 
from  personal  interest  or  future  plans  prefer  the  plant  rather 
than  the  animal  aspects  of  biological  science. 

Courses  31-32  and  33-34  are  third  year  courses  which  extend 
the  work  of  students  who  have  spent  two  years  in  the  department, 
to  more  highly  specialized  studies  either  along  the  line  of  physi- 
ology or  that  of  structure  in  the  higher  animals.  Both  courses 
may  be  taken  if  desired. 

Courses  37-38  and  43-44  are  designed  to  furnish  opportunity, 
for  those  who  desire,  to  work  on  specific  biological  problems, 
in  which  research  methods  are  followed  to  some  extent  and 
the  work  is  of  an  advanced  character.  The  student  is  placed 
considerably  on  his  own  responsibility  and  initiative  to  encourage 
his  independence  and  self-reliance. 

Course  41-42  is  a  short  course  planned  primarily  for  the 
benefit  of  students  who  have  not  majored  in  the  science  group 
and  who  wish  to  come  into  close  touch  with  the  underlying  biolog- 
ical facts  and  conceptions  which  are  involved  in  the  scientific 
thought  of  today.  The  work  of  this  course  is  planned  to  offer 
non-scientific  students  an  opportunity  to  become  somewhat  famil- 
iar with  the  physical  and  chemical  as  well  as  the  biological  data 
which  are  involved  in  various  aspects  of  modern  life. 

PAOK   BLKVBN 


The  biological  department  is  housed  in  commodious  rooms 
well  adapted  to  the  general  course  and  to  the  advanced  courses. 
There  is  an  equipment  consisting  of  biological  apparatus  includ- 
ing microscope,  microtome,  anatomical  and  histological  prepara- 
tions, glassware  and  charts  adequate  for  all  the  courses  which 
are  offered. 

There  is  also  a  good  library  of  text-books,  monographs  and 
full  sets  of  several  biological  journals,  enabling  students  to 
approach  all  their  problems  from  the  side  of  the  technical  liter- 
ature involved  in  their  work. 

The  work  of  the  biological  department  has  always  been  given 
full  credit  at  other  institutions,  and  Hamline  men  who  have  gone 
elsewhere  for  graduate  or  technical  courses  have  always  soon  won 
recognition  and  often  been  given  positions  as  laboratory  assist- 
ants.

THE  CURRENT  YEAR 

Hamline  University  enters  upon  its  sixty-fifth  year  of  his- 
tory with  further  indications  of  right  progress.  The  Freshman 
Class,  the  Sophomore  Class,  the  student  body,  and  the  faculty  are 
all  larger  than  they  have  ever  before  been.  The  Freshman  class 
numbers  280  in  comparison  with  last  year's  260,  despite  the  new 
selective  principle  adopted  this  year  of  requiring  all  applicants 
who  graduated  in  the  lower  half  of  the  high  school  class  to  pass  a 
mental  test  and  an  English  test.  This  requirement  operated  in 
excluding  a  number  of  applicants  for  admission. 

At  present  the  prospective  graduating  class  of  1923  contains 
65  members,  a  number  equal  to  that  of  the  largest  former  class. 

The  student  body  numbers  580  and  the  faculty  now  com- 
prises 36  active  instructors.  Thus  Hamline  maintains  the  fairly 
adequate  proportion  of  one  instructor  to  sixteen  students. 

English  11  (required  of  all  freshmen),  meets  in  ten  sections, 
and  English  Zero  (a  preparatory  class  without  credit,  under  a 
regular  instructor),  is  provided  for  those  who,  upon  further  ex- 
amination, have  proved  not  fully  prepared  to  undertake  with 
profit  the  regular  freshman  course,  although  in  general  mental 
equipment  as  indicated  by  the  mental  tests  or  their  record  in  other 
departments,  they  are  of  college  standard. 

Other  large  classes  such  as  English  Literature  11,  Mathe- 
matics 11,  History  11  and  13,  French  11,  Spanish  11,  German  11, 
Psychology  23  and  others  are  met  in  sections  small  enough  to 
permit  of  thorough  and  adequate  training. 

All    extra-curricular    concerns — musical    organizations,    de 
bate,  oratory,  dramatic  club,  and  departmental  study  clubs — are 
in  a  state  of  healthy  and  growing  activity.
